The Mountain Banjo is a true American Folk instrument. According to John Rice Irwin the traditional 5-string banjo appears to have been developed near Appomattox, Virginia by Joel Walker Sweeney sometime near 1810. He called it a "banjar."

Our banjos are made out of solid Cherry wood, with a lovely contrasting hardwood veneer on the fretboard and peghead. Our wooden rim is constructed of 3 thicknesses of 3/4 inch wood, for strength. An attractive bead pattern is turned into the rim with our trusty shop lathe. A stretched goat skin pot is inserted for that "just right" obnoxious twang, so necessary to banjos.

Our tenor banjo has frets, 4 steel strings, and a 24-inch fret scale.

A beginner instrument that has a sweet soft tone but is a funky, folky instrument.
